Therefore, the most wonderful present you can give yourself at Christmas is this openness to life. Therefore, I hope to "open me first" this Christmas

My two and a half year old daughter recently attended the death of her great grandmother. We got the call that things weren’t going so well at about 10:30 at night, and so we packed my daughter up and headed out so that we could be with for those final hours. We could have left her with my mother for the night, but I felt it important that she be present to say goodbye and to see for herself the importance of compassion and understanding.
